Arc A770. I'm into 8-9 months now running dual screens - ultrawide 1440 @100hz plus 1080 @60hz. Used daily, gaming, web browsing, light video editing and general usage. For about the past 6 months i've had zero issues, nada, everything is great. Admittedly I don't play Starfield and I know...

I tried that, the efficiency of the fans is severely impacted when in contact with the bottom of the case, and that's without the filter. They need to run faster to maintain the same temps and the noise is much worse. It's like the stack effect cooling these fans were built for just doesn't...

It's now been a couple of months since I experienced any issues related to performance or general functionality, every game and application I use works fine, I'm extremely happy and it has proved to be a good upgrade from the 1660S for my particular needs. The only problem I have is the Acer...

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I decided on two in the end. Model O - Because cheap and seems like it might be an excellent mouse primarily for gaming Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 1000 - Because I found a boxed 2008 example for a great price, and it looks much more like the no...

The mouses I've been using for during the past few years were all great, priced around £50-£85, so not top of the range but certainly not cheap and clearly built to be excellent for a very specific and limited period of time, usually a year or two. This time I'd really like to buy a mouse that...

Thank you for the reply! Just MSI Game boost OC, I thought about under volting but have no experience with doing that. To be honest I'm just happy with the performance as it is, and like you say as long as the temps remain where they are there's little to fear, so why tinker further? Credit...

Hope you don't mind me adding to the thread, rather than start a new one I have some related 5700X OC questions. Currently I'm just running the standard MSI Game boost OC settings on mine, I notice that wattage to the package often exceeds 120w and the Core 100w+. I get good clocks (4.9) and...

I got 5.4GHz out of my 5700x today...

They have targeted specific games (popular and newer titles) as well as trying to backfill compatibility issues with older API's like DX11 and earlier. It's absolutely down to them being new to the scene, where Nvidia and AMD can base new drivers on foundations decades in the making, Intel is...

I don't have Stalker, but I'll run RDR2 and let you know how it performs. True, but for some reason I cannot get BeamNG to run with Vulcan, the card smashes the game with Ultra presets in defaullt mode.

It's very much geared up to tackle the latest software, although they have done a lot of work with the drivers increasing compatibility with older games. If I get time I'll try a few older titles over the weekend and report back. If you can list some games you're particularly interested in I'll...

I miss Windows 7 so much bro's.

Just to reiterate, there has been another driver update (4887) which adds significant improvements to Starfield and other titles. It's now been more than 3 weeks since I experienced a crash, that includes playing various games, video recording, editing and rendering, general web browsing and...

Late, but still a fascinating entry, bodes well for the future, 580 is already proving itself as a serious contender at that price point. The progress made with drivers so far is impressive, at the very least they are showing that they are fully committed to competing in the market. Arc is a...

Since the last driver update (4885) I've had no issues, and with Starfield devs finally giving Arc some love in the last patch I'm even able to play that game crash free.
